Umm... description says odometer is in km's - it's been imported. So converts to 55k miles...

Also says it's a manual, when it's not. These guys clearly don't give a rat's ass about details.

Yes, and they put the letter "M" in their header - it hasn't even got M-Sport seats! :lol:

But getting back to the OP's conundrum, if he likes the roof down I wouldn't try a Coupe! It would be easy to get seduced by the 3.0Si for the performance only to miss the top-down experience.

Smartbear's suggestion of an E89 (28i, 30i or 35i) looks like the best idea if the next car really has to be white - I seem to see more white E89s than any other colour!
Coupes because stunning!

JINGLE,

Being an owner of an Alpine White 3.0si Coupe - I would say go for the Alpine White 3.0si Coupe :)

But I am biased - I'm not really a fan of ragtops

And yes the 3.0si is awesome - but the 3.2 M is even better...

Hey JINGLE, it looks like shueys E86 might be for sale looking at his post on here:- viewtopic.php?f=41&t=112155

A PM may be a plan if you're still interested. :thumbsup:

I’m still no further forward in my decision, I’ve messaged the guy selling that high mileage coupe for £6,750 on Facebook as I was talking to him couple months ago before it went on autotrader but he is reading my messages and not replying?

I can only assume he thinks I’m not interested or was offended when I said I was really interested just really put off by high mileage, but I’m a potential buyer that clearly wants a white Z so his loss :thumbsdown:
